Default Reduced reach forward controls

Any one tried them? Did they make any noticeable difference?
My dyna had forwards already fitted when l bought it, they are a bit of a stretch at 5'8", not too bad but after a while on a long ride they seem very forward!
Any input would be appreciated, cheers.

I'm also 5'8" and felt pretty stretched out on long rides. Last summer I changed to the Corbin "Close" solo seat and I'm right where I need to be. Really comfortable seat and perfect reach distance. Big improvement for me.

I had forwards on my Dyna, I switched to floorboards (pretty quick project if you already have forwards). I liked them a lot better. I'm 5'11". With the forwards I didn't notice any reach reach issues.

Thanks for the ideas, l may well think about floor boards and the seat sounds like it would help a lot.

That's a great looking 35th anniversary Dyna in your signature picture by the way.
